Chertoff Pledged To Pursue Criminal Charges Against Hillary
Los Angeles Times | September 4, 2007 09:42 PM

Shortly after President Bush took office in 2001, Michael Chertoff, then head of the Justice Department's criminal division, met with the conservative group Judicial Watch. It wanted criminal charges brought against Hillary Rodham Clinton in connection with a lavish fundraising event in Los Angeles the year before.

"Chertoff personally assured us he would pursue it," the group's president, Tom Fitton, said recently, recalling the meeting with several top Justice officials. "They said they weren't afraid of taking on the Clintons."

Justice did not pursue a case against the senator from New York, but instead went after one of her fundraisers, David Rosen, who eventually was acquitted.

Now Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales has announced his resignation, brought down in part by allegations that he let politics influence Justice Department decisions. And Chertoff, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, is a prominent candidate to succeed him.

5. so chertoff had a hard on for hillary
let's see how far his nomination gets. if he really wants to be AG he will be kissing her ass and groveling at her feet. I don't think Hillary is the most forgiving person in the world; she is one mean bitch with a long memory, a major asset for her compared to the current crop of dem candidates. This will be lots of fun to watch. I like Hillary's chances to be our next prez more and more.

stupid, incompetent, corrupt, and ultra-partisan. Will probably breeze through the confirmation
